ktchong Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) The DNC has launched a series of town halls to better explain the "Better Deal," and to call for public participation in crafting an even better "Better Deal" over the next few weeks, under the rubric #DNCTakeBack.As discussed with a bi-partisan crowd of 100 in the first such town hall (seen here), the "Better Deal" includes a number of election-winning positions that polls show have widespread support across the political spectrum, and that have already been winning state and local elections nationwide, even in heavily Trump-leaning areas.Until the recent banning of corporate donations to the DNC, the DNC was unable to support such positions because of the outsize influence of key donors, as detailed in transcript below. These positions include Medicare for all (desired by a strong majority of voters overall, and even by 41% of Republicans), free college tuition (desired by 62% of all voters), stronger unions (by an ever growing majority), and public campaign financing and the elimination of corporate lobbying (large majorities of Americans feel corporations, the wealthy, and lobbyists have far too much influence in politics).It is not fully understood why so few people noticed these positions within the "Better Deal" when it was first unveiled last Monday. P.S. It's a prank by Democratic dissidents. Edited August 7, 2017 by ktchong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoman2 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 7 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

Agiel Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Proportions and mannerisms sort of reminds me of Al Pacino in |)ick Tracy. Edited August 7, 2017 by Agiel 1 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartimaeus Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Why didn't you just write out D.ick Tracy? 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Bartimaeus Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 This is painfully accurate. Sometimes, I hate living in the Midwest. I always say I'm from California (which I am...kinda) if anybody asks to help explain my apparent unfriendliness. 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

Blarghagh Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Not to glorify drugs or anything but The hell? That's not how adderall works. At most it'll give you an energy boost or a minor feeling of euphoria because of the increase of dopamine and norepinephrine. If you don't have ADHD it won't even help you focus, it'll do the opposite (sorry college students). There's nothing in adderall that would make you do this.

Raithe Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 On their 50th anniversary, a wife found the negligee she wore on her wedding night and put it on.She went to her husband, a retired Navy Chief and asked, "Honey, do you remember this?"He looked up from his newspaper and said "Yes dear, I do.You wore that same negligee the night we were married."She said, "Yes, that's right. Do you remember what you said to me that night?"...He nodded and said "Yes dear, I said, Oh baby,I'm going to suck the life out of those boobs and screw your brains out."She giggled and said "That's exactly what you said.So now it's fifty years later, and I'm in the same negligee. What do you have to say tonight?"He looked her up and down and said, "Mission Accomplished." 3 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Chilloutman Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 1 I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teknoman2 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 an 80 year old white man married a 25 year old white girl after a year she gave birth to a boy and the nurse asked the man "how did you do it at this age?" to which he replied "i keep the tools well oiled" a year later she gave birth to a girl and the nurse asked again "do you really have it in you to make kids at this age?" and he replied "as i said, i keep the tools well oiled" the next year she gave birth again and the nurse came to him and said "you forgot to change oil this time and the child came out black" 1 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain.
